I took a bite of food w/o letting it cool off first. scalding hot. t burned the back of my throat really badly. it still hurts. should i be concerned?

Give it time: It's unlikely that the hot food did any serious damage. Give it a little time and it should get better. If it isn't significantly better in 48 hours see an ENT or Oral surgeon to examine it.
